In his Henckels Steak Knives review of King Kong Is Back!, Tim Janson pays special attention to my contribution "Thirty-Three," referring to it as a "great essay."
| Quote: |
| Rick Klaw’s essay "Thirty Three" delves in the colorful history of the two men who brought King Kong to the screen, Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack.These two have a background that you’d think had to be written by Hollywood.Both served during WWII and both aided Poland in their fight for independence with Russia.Cooper was a pilot for the Polish Air Force and was made a squadron commander in 1920.He was shot down and captured by the Russians and held in a prison camp until he escaped along with two Polish prisoners and traversed 500 miles to freedom into Lativa.A remarkable history. |
Janson concludes his review with his overall impression of King Kong Is Back!

| Some of the essays are a little on the dry side but all in all its wonderfully done and a great book for any King Kong fan. |
